“The farm boundaries are extensive and include large areas of hillside above the main farmstead, where higher winds are generated.

“The wind turbine is located in the open countryside within a pasture field.

“The proposed use of the wind turbine is for the generation of electricity from a renewable source, the wind.

“The applicant intends to reduce reliance on imported electricity through the on-site generation of wind energy, which in turn will reduce costs to the farming operation and support the diversification activities of the business.”

The report added the proposal would not warrant the submission of an environmental statement as it “does not prevent unusually complex and potentially hazardous environmental effects.”

Last month, an application for a 45m wind turbine in Tanybryn, near Pwllheli, was withdrawn at the request of the applicant.

A report to Gwynedd Council’s planning committee recommended refusing the application as officials believed putting up the turbine would have a detrimental effect on the historic character of the landscape and on views across the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

A full application has also been made for a third 50kw wind turbine, at Derwin Fawr, Garndolbenmaen.
